Ah, I only look on my phone. On the laptop may show more, and be easier to find. Awesome, just what i needed. Thanks.

I dont mind the style, I just want a better choice of rubber, and I get free 120 fronts and either 160 or 190 rears.

I've found a 10mm offset one, so that's sorted. Thanks for your help.

Have you got the spec of the front sprocket to use ? What disk and sprocket carrier do you use with that bandit rear rim ?

Thanks for the reply. I've done loads of reading over last few weeks, but there is never a definitive answer, and I'm just going round in circles, hence the post. I'm trying to keep costs down, which is why I'm was hoping not to swap the whole front and whole rear. If I can do just wheels, it's got to be more cost effective.

Hi everyone I have searched, and have also gone round in circles, as there doesn't seem to be a definitive way to do what I'm after doing. Bought an EFE, standard wheels, standard forks, standard swingarm. I want to go 3.5 x 17 front wheel, (keeping speedo drive) and preferably keeping standard forks I want to swap the rear wheel to a matching wheel to the front if poss, as I dislike odd wheels. Happy to go 4.5" to run a 160 or 170, 5" to run 170 or 180, or 5.5" to go 180. Prefer to keep standard rear brake caliper and hanger. If I have to change swingarm, I will, but prefer a route with minimal alterations needed. So, just a wheel swap if at all possible, with minimum spacer machining etc, rather than a full blown front and rear swap. I'm not after a mega build special bike, just something i can put modern 17 tyres on, to improve the ride and handling. If you know what definitely works, and what years and models of wheels to go for, including any other parts needed, like disks, sprocket carrier etc etc, all help would be awesome. Thanks again. Paul
